Dear all,
I'm trying to install globus toolkit 4.0 on a mandrake 10.1 machine, which requires perl to act in the installation. installation was failed due to failure in finding 'EXTERN.h', which is provided by perl-devel.
I've checked all perl rpm packs on the system, the result is that both v5.8.5 and v5.8.6 are co-existing and perl-devel-5.8.6 is there. But GT4.0 only asks v5.8.5 in the installation.
So my question is: can I just uninstall perl-5.8.5 packages and let v5.8.6 on the system (mandrake 10.1)? Please help me out! Many thanks!
===================================================
see perl version:
[root@localhost mandrake_update]# perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)
